"Surrender!!!"
"Put your hands where we can them!!"
"Don't move!!"
Several guardsmen with spears in hand could be seen Surrounding Arian, who was currently on horse back.
They had heard about everything that happened in the heaven devourer mountain, including "Arian's betrayal and death" so seeing her here genuinely shocked them, they all thought she was dead.
But now that she had appeared, they didn't really know how to react, other than surrounding or trying to capture her.
"Hmmmm" Arian, while still maintaining the cold expression on her face, looked forward into the camp. Sounds of festivity could be heard from within the camp.
There seemed to be some sort of event happened inside the camp.
"Take me to the commander" Arian said out loud, but she didn't wait for them to reply as she began making her way into the camp slowly.
This move momentarily shocked the guards, but they had no choice but to follow her tightly while still maintaining a tight perimeter around her.
There was really nothing else they could do, it was best for the commander to handle her

30 minutes prior
At the very back of the camp in the lumber Area
A figure cloaked in a dark robe slowly made his way out from the forest and into the clearing.
Once he did so, he looked around and his eyes landed on top, a young man seated in a relaxed position behind a stack of lumber.
"There he is" the cloaked figure whispered as he made his horse move closer and closer to the young man.
"Who's there?" The young man noticed the new arrival and quickly became tense. There was not meant to be anyone in the lumber Area at this time of the night.
"It's me" the figure pulled down his cloak and revealed his face.
"Hm? Boss?" Immediately after seeing this face, the young man's facial expression lit up. He wasn't expecting for Leon to come back after all the news he had heard.
"Yes yes....." Leon smiled, he had scouted this area thoroughly in the past and was able to determine that it was the best place to sneak into the camp from. There were barely any guards here until you reached the outskirts of the camp, and even then, those were mainly patrols.
"Oh my god, is this really happening?" The young man, after a brief moment of shock, suddenly came to another realization. Leon appearing here signified only one thing.
The rumors of the Lord that would come to save them was also spread by Gunta on the directives of Leon.
"Kill the bloody hunters" the Warlocks seized the opportunity and attacked the guards, brutally overwhelming them.
Because of the event at the center of the camp, most of the guards with true power like the level 2 guards were not around, as such, this little rebellion couldn't be quelled easily.
"He's already here" gunta turned his Arrow to a figure on horse-back, he was cloaked in black and with a torch in hand.
"Who??!!"
As soon as the figure appeared before the now released warlocks, they all froze. A figure cloaked in black had appeared out of nowhere, their caution was warranted.
"Burn the place to the ground" the figure shrouded in darkness, threw the torch in his hand to the Warlocks on the ground and said.
"Burn it down?" The figure was telling them to burn the camp to the ground? What did that mean?
"The Lord badur has decided to free his people, but first he must give them back their pride. Destroy your enemies" the cloaked figure said loudly. His voice carrying a sort of majesty that shook them to the very core.
This man was a vessel of the powerful Lord badur? Didn't that mean the rumors were true? Were they really going to gain their freedom today?
"Quick haste, take your revenge. The lord's men will hold back the old bastards" the figure announced before kicking his horse and riding off.
"Yeah...yeah!!!!! Let's burn this whole place to the ground!!!" One of the warlocks screamed in a loud voice. It was like all the pent-up rage he had been feeling in his heart all this while had come rushing through the floodgates.
The hunters had captured and humiliated them for so long. Now it was time for revenge.
Meanwhile, Leon, who was riding away from the scene was joined by Gunta on horse back.
Behind them, a large cloud of black smoke had begun to form....
"Where to?" Gunta asked Leon. They were riding in the direction of the death squad's camp.....this was not part of the original plan.
Leon's plans were intricate, he and gunta had systemically released warlocks from their cages and set fire to the camp. This would lead to many deaths and massive loses on the hunter side. But this was only a distraction.
"Going to see an old friend" Leon said with a big smile on his face.
If his plan was to succeed, he couldn't rely on only Arian to fight against the host of level 3 mages.
He needed more backup
Luckily, the camp had recently received someone of immense power, one that was ready to lay her life down just to drag down the hunters.....
The head of the blood serpent clan.
